Are you underweight? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. If your BMI is less than 18.5 percent, you are considered underweight. You may be thinking that is a good problem to have. Think again. Risks for osteoporosis, malnutrition, hair loss, and a bad immune system go up as your weight continues to go down. Eating a few candy bars is not the best way to try to gain some weight. Increase your milk intake and try a few protein shakes. Rice, nut butters, avocados, dark chocolate, whole grain cereals, eggs, and dried fruits can also aid in fast and safe weight gain. It’s important to track your weight and to build muscle, not just fat. Talk to your doctor if you have concerns about being underweight.

Something smells fishy. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. Have you noticed more Omega-3 and fish oil labels hitting the shelves? That’s because fish oil has amazing health benefits. They contain Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D. Fish oils and Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer, post-partum depression, psychosis, epilepsy, and age-related vision loss. They can also provide behavioral improvements to children with ADHD. If you don’t eat fish, plenty of vegetables contain Omega-3 fatty acids. These include: fresh basil, leafy dark vegetables, flax, hempseed, and walnuts. Although, Omega-3s can be quite helpful when it comes to your health, they can aggravate certain conditions. Talk to your doctor about adding this supplement to your daily routine.

Do you drink alcohol? You may want to rethink the extra drink. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. A new study out of the University of Cambridge showed that even having one extra drink could shave months, even years off of your life. According to the study, drinking excess alcohol can also lead to cardiovascular diseases. The study consisted of 600,000 participants and spanned over 19 countries. Shocker! Out of all of the counties, the US alcohol guidelines were found to be one of the most lenient. The magic number is seven. Seven STANDARD DRINKS were considered “safe”. What’s a standard drink? A small can of beer or a 5 ounce glass of wine. Turns out, an extra glass a day does not keep the doctor away.

Is grilled meat increasing your blood pressure? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. It’s almost summertime. That means it’s time to uncover your pool and break out the grill. But, before you do, a new study from the Department of Nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health may convince you otherwise. Studies in the past have shown that certain foods can increase blood pressure. Although, true, this new study states that the way the food is cooked can also influence blood pressure. High temperature cooking and the “doneness” of your meat can contribute to your hypertension risk. If you already have high blood pressure, you may want to consider having fewer cookouts and more picnics this summer.
